A DISH OF SALAD.

abundant success in his scheme to bury
his political rivals. In the Kilkenny
fight that would ensue-in the event
that the doughty ex-governor comes
back and attempts to gather political
fruit-the Democrats would step in and
knock all the persimmons. The ex-gov-
ernor should be encouraged in his laud.
able designs.
The Republicans are too anxious about
Mr.. DAYS intentions. They will find
out, to their sorrow, that Mr. DAY is too
shrewd man to play into their hands
by fighting the administration. Their
little game is too transparent.

Editor PIERCE must be one of three
things. He has charged that employees
or the territorial government contribute

| contributors" or otherwise. Now the
governor must prove this, acknowledge
his mistake or stand convicted as a de-
liberate falsifier. The GLOBE pronounces
the assertion untrue in every particular.

Judge FRANCIS seems to have had
some of the starch taken out of him.
He is not half SO voracious as he was
before the GLOBE allowed few Dakota
victims chance to rake him over the
Goals, and it looks as if a man could now
indulge in the sweet pastime of enter
tanning a profound contempt for his
court without danger of being COM
mitted to prison.

The interview of the GLOBES repre-
sentative with the noted Sioux chief,
BULL GHOST, puts new face on the
reservation question. If the Indians
are willing to have the lands decided in
severalty, and the remainder thrown
open to settlement by the whites, and
are anxious to adopt the modes and
methods of civilization, what's the use
of further delay. This has been the
only stumbling block in the way hereto
fore. If old BULL GHOST truly repre-
sents the sentiment of his people
CLEVELAND should have the reserva-
ton opened within the earliest possible
time.

That appropriation has not yet reached
the hands of the Yankton trustees-and
the wire-pullers and offiee-seekers who
are trying to make political capital out
